A fabulous looking Gruen PGF Curvex circa 1940’s. Featuring a 24 X 38mm curvex case with flared lobed lugs original 2 tone antique salmon dial and faceted mineral glass crystal. Perhaps one of the prettiest curvex models we have ever owned.

While most 1940’s era case designs are quite small by today’s standards, this model has a great wrist presence. The case diameter of 21mm reaches 24mm across due to the substantial lobed lugs. Viewed from the side, you can see how hefty the sloped lugs are. Not too big for a woman, and not too small for a man who appreciates the vintage American pieces. With an all original 2 tone salmon dial, with only minor signs of aging (like the rest of us) and with narrow outer white minute track. The dial is signed Gruen Curvex,  Precison just above the detailed sub seconds bit, and finally SWITZERLAND spelled out at the bottom of the dial. The dial features raised gold arabic figures and gold leaf style hands.

Powered by Gruen caliber 440 curved movement. Gruen produced their curvex movements with a curved rather than flat configuration to provide high quality and accuracy in thier curved case and not rely on smaller, less accurate flat movements that could be accommodated within the the Curvex cases.

The case is in especially fine condition, once again without wear through on the top of the lugs, or on the back of the lugs as is often seen on Curvex style cases. The 3 facet mineral glass crystal adds yet another layer of style and distinctiveness to this fine example vintage curvex. The patina seen in the photos is oxidation on the case which we have left unpolished. The watch appears to have been sitting for a number of years before we acquired it. The case can be hand polished if you wish to brighten the rose color of the case.

Recently fully serviced and left unpolished. Guaranteed genuine and as described and offered with our 1 year warranty of accurate time keeping and operation. Shown on a 16mm reddish brown exotic skin strap for a vintage dressy look.
